Shed more tears Moses You remember Joseph Mbu?

Mogidi:
Why na, abi u wan cry?

No, the sacked LG Chairmen should have gone to Court to seek for a Stay-of-Execution of the Federal High Court Ruling or file an Appeal immediately.They didn't see this coming right?

Clerverly:
There is still a window for them to file for stay of execution, since the court didn't not give an explicit for any caretaker to be sworn in. The police should maintain the premises for the time pending when the issues are sorted out, but Wike cannot have his way! Simple!

CharlesPhc:
As long as Governor Wike has made an appointment of caretaker committees your socalled window of Stay of Execution has been shot against the sacked chairmen and the Federal High Court judgment stands until an Apeal Court Ruling which superceed the High Court Ruling is delivered.

Clerverly:
In the eyes of the Law! Wike has not made any appointment! And he has no power to appoint for the Lgs!

CharlesPhc:
In the eyes of which Law? The Office of the Governor of a State is Law itself so anything the occupant of that office says stands...!!!

gboss4sure:
I hope you wont change your support for impunity when it turns against your interest.

So the FG/Police is now Bigger than the Court of Law?

Change Indeed

[b]Before the May 23rd LG Election in Rivers State, there was a Court Order barring the former Rivers State Governor and RSIEC from going ahead with the election. Amaechi ordered the RSIEC Chairman to disobey the Court Order and the election was conducted.

The Learned Justice Akanbi only maintained that since there was a subsisting Court Order (Pre-Election matter) before the election was conducted, anything done after that order was a nonentity, null and void period. That purported election was therefore declared null and void and the purported winners of that election ordered to vacate their offices as they were occupying it illegally. Mind you, this was a pre-election case.

The Court Order from the Industrial Court was a post election case against the Current RS Governor and RSHA Members (not against the Federal High Court) not to dissolve the Council Chairmen pending the determination of cases already pending. Governor Wike and the RSHA did not disobey that ruling. The Federal High Court is not bound by the Industrial Court Order Sir.

Secondly, in law it has been established that you can not put something in nothing, you can order someone not to cut off the branch from a tree but when the tree is uprooted from its root and removed completely, the order not to cut the branch seizes to be becos there is nothing there anymore. You can not cut a branch of a tree that does not exist. The LG election was an illegal structure which Justice Akanbi pulled away from its root. The RS Governor was left with no option than to fill the vacuum to aviod lacuna simple. [/b]

Clerverly:
That means in the event of any house of the Assembly members losing his seat through the court, Wike can appoint a caretaker member to fill the position?

Let me ask you this, during the general election INEC conducted elections for Presidential, NASS, Governorship and State Houses of Assembly. Why did they (INEC) not conduct for Local Governments? Becos each State Government through the state Independent Electroal Commissions conducts the affairs of their various LG Elections. So Wike can not replace a member of the HOA cos he didn't conduct the election that brought the House member in but he can replace a Local Government Chair cos he conducted (through the RSIEC ofcourse) the election that brought the LG chair in whenever the Court sacks the chair

Clerverly:
You are now boxed to a corner! Going your logic, It then means that Buhari Can appoint a caretaker Senator to replace another in the event of court nullifying the election, since it was the Federal that conducted the Election? Leekwa Ndi Laywer

This Cleverly of a boy is the only Politics section Nairalander that has never made any meaningful or intelligent contribution since inception notwithstanding his numerous monikers.

CharlesPhc:
I agree with the above quote on you now...!!!

OrigamiIII:
Where were you those days when Gej/Pej and Wike were dangerously harassing Gov.Amaechi? They virtually made the state ungovernable for the man. People like you were busy rejoicing as impunity had a freign reign those days. Now what goes around comes around. Its wike's turn to have a taste of the same treatment him and his cohorts meted to Amaechi.
